Very good recipe. I like baked eggs.
cooked ham
what's the difference between 'cooked ham' and just 'ham'?
And another question: 'all-flour' = 'all-purpose flour'?

Ham that isn't called cooked ham is basic raw ham like you would get from the butcher. Cooked ham is normally found in commercial products such as ham steaks where in the process of producing the ham it is precooked to eliminate the liability of the company from law suits where trichinosis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis) is a distinct possibility from raw ham.
It does not have to be processed ham. It can be any ham, even one you have cooked yourself. It's usually the way the recipe says that it's method of preparation will not be sufficient to kill any encysted larval that might be contained in raw ham.
As I have mentioned before much of my recipes come from a wide variety of sources. Sometimes I miss what someone else wrote as a short hand instead of writing it all out. So all-flour is someone's shortcut instead of typing it all out to say all-purpose flour.

Useful explanations! Thanks, Mojo! Sometimes it's sort of difficult for a non-native EN-speaker to get it all, because it's not just a foreign language, it's a special field foreign language (culinary) and this is why sometimes we may sound like a kid asking difference and meanings of maybe very basic things. This as was mentioned already helps us to improve our both: culinary culture & EN language culture. 8)

Now I see the difference between these 2 hams. I thought that there is no raw ham. :) But now I know there is. 8) And my flour-question was based exactly on lack of 100% English knowledge. (Maybe I mentioned it before, maybe not: I started with Russian and French as foreign languages in my 1-st schools, but then I had to live in Libya with my parents for 2 years in a provincial town and there were no French language teachers, so I had to switch French to English and it was something good, because English is the nowadays 'Lingua franca'. Later on -- in the Middle school and 2 additional years in the university. There we learned things like 'struggle' and 'existence', but not much about hams or flours. And at the present I had/have teaching English in China experience, but most of the time it's the kindergarten level, where we use words like: abacus, apple, cup, bowl and triangle... which means it's not very helpful for improving my own language level /except a few times, when from the kindergarten books I learned new for me words as xylophone-xylophones/. Now I learn it, when I communicate with people like you, when I watch some English news and films, and when I read some English articles online.)
Oh yes, uncooked meat is a source of many potential problems (diseases)! It's a very important mark here! I avoid even most of the sushis/sashimis, which are using raw/semi-raw fish. Something about it: http://www.nytimes.com/1981/09/30/garden/eating-raw-fish-the-dangers.html.

We can learn so much! I'm one of those, who have no idea what's the difference between ham and bacon. ;D

difference between ham and bacon
Both are different cuts of meat off a hog. Here is a picture diagram which will explain it. (http://meatandwildgame.about.com/od/Pork_Lamb/tp/Pork-Cuts-1.htm)
For the rest, I very much respect your multilingual abilities. It's one I don't have. I never could pick up languages. Just something about it I can't wrap my brain around. There are other things I am good at but languages just isn't one of them. I've tried Spanish and German and neither was I successful in getting far enough to be understood.
I feel sort of like Mark Twain, which I will leave as the signature for the day.

Ohhh, now I see. Thanks for the good picture link! :)
