Answers:
The left over mush/pulp is called "okara" (so you can do an internet search now for recipes)
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Okara_(food!.!.!.

It's a nutritional powerhouse with quite a lot of vitamins, calcium and both kinds of fiber and is actually very versatile in all to be done with it including making cookies or a type of falafel with it!.

Not related to the okara but once you've made soy milk it's pretty simple to make your own tofu which is so much better than the commercial tofu:
